Leila Zhanybekova, LCAT, ATR-BC

All of you deserves affirmative care, and I would be honored to witness you and join you on your journey. Together, we will collaborate to explore your current struggles, look into your relationships, process your experiences, unpack intergenerational and racial trauma, identify and change patterns of thought and behavior, and gain insight into your life’s journey. My own cultural background as a queer immigrant provides me a deep understanding of the nuanced ways that our intersectional identities influence the way we see ourselves. In session, we build a warm, humorous, and authentic relationship to help you reach your goals.

I embrace folks of all gender identities, orientations, and countries of origin. I tailor my approach by combining different tools and perspectives to best suit your needs. I draw from psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, emotionally focused and insight-oriented therapy.

It takes time and courage to find a therapist you feel connected with. I am looking forward to meeting you, and getting to know your story. I aim to co-create a space with you where you will feel understood, supported, and validated in a safe and empowering way.
